The big news from last night’s Thunder game was supposed to be Emily Sutton singing the national anthem. Unfortunately for Emily, she was upstaged by this:

Yep, Kate Upton, the SI Swimsuit Edition cover girl, was in Oklahoma City yesterday catching a Thunder game with Chesapeake Energy CEO (and Thunder co-owner) Aubrey McClendon. I guess this proves that our post from a few weeks ago claiming the two are related was kind of accurate. It also proves that even basketball players tighten up when around pure hotness.

Fun fact: Shooting at the basket where Upton sat under, both teams combined to go just 39 percent from the floor. On the other end? 49.4 percent. Also, the Suns went 9-12 in the first half from the free throw line, while at the Upton end, they missed six. Including a rare one from Steve Nash. Thundor’s big jiggling belly is a pretty good distraction, but obviously not as good as Thunder Upton.

For what it’s worth, I gave last night’s Ogle seats to our Norman Trivia Night paper grader Liz, so I didn’t get to see Ms. Upton in person. That’s probably not a bad thing, because I probably would not have been able to concentrate on the game. Plus, it would have been really awkward to see Rumble get an erection.

F You Kate Upton. This winch probably knew that Emily was gonna get the spotlight that evening and Kate had to upstage her. I will fight for you Emily Sutton. I will motor boat you anytime over Kate. Call me crazy people I dont care.
